Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer has been charged with driving an unregistered car without a license after he was stopped in a Ferrari by police in Punchbowl twice on Saturday night.

The controversial figure, who burst into the headlines with his lavish wedding last month and has since faced unrelated charges of assault, was also issued a defect notice for a cracked windscreen, reports The Daily Telegraph.

A NSW police spokeswoman confirmed a 29-year-old man had been charged with driving an unregistered vehicle and driving while unlicensed on Canterbury Road.

The spokeswoman said the man was first stopped around 10.50pm and told to cease driving, however he was allegedly stopped again by police less than 30 minutes later, at 11.15pm, on the same road.

He was issued with a field court attendance notice and is due to face court on November 18.

Mr Mehajer took to his public Facebook page last night to address the latest allegations.

In a long post, he claimed he had been targeted by police, and said a vehicle next to him at traffic lights had ran a red light and not been stopped.
